When you get a check like this and deposit it it is credited just fine but several days later when it goes back to the company that wrote the check (usually a company totally different from the one on the letter announcing that you won a contest) it turns out that it is either a stolen or forged check or both.
The bank then wants the money back. You have to prove that YOU didn't forge or steal the check. I'm glad that you visited the police but the people you sent the check to are long gone. The address was probably a drop box. If I had recieved this check I would have sent out nothing until I was sure that it was legitimate.
You don't win contests you don't enter and you NEVER send money by Western Union or a Moneygram because the recipient isn't traceable.

If you couldn't have seen it was a scam when they asked you to send money to someone you never heard of then you deserved to be scammed.
